PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simpler process for preparing N-benzylamine. SOLUTION: This process for preparing the N-benzylamine comprises (i) in a first step, reacting benzaldehyde with a primary amine and providing an imine and (ii) in a second step, hydrogenating the imine with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst containing one or more kinds of metals of groups 8 to 10 of the periodic table of elements and affording the N-benzylamine, wherein the imination (i) is carried out in a water-miscible solvent without removing formed water of reaction and the hydrogenation (ii) is carried out in the imine solution obtained by the imination (i) and containing the water of reaction.
